Wisdom For The Day Devotional 19 February 2025 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Christ Did It For You
TOPIC: Christ Did It For You (TREM Devotional 19 February 2025)
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” (John 19:30 KJV)
MESSAGE:
Our Christian faith is hinged on the cross and all that Jesus accomplished through His death, burial, and resurrection. And so it is important that we never minimize the sacrifice. We must fully embrace the benefits because everything that Jesus did was for you and me. He paid the supreme price so that we can enjoy the benefits.
Sin has been dealt with! Sickness, disease, barrenness, poverty, and lack had all been dealt with on the Cross. The price has been paid in full, and Jesus said it is finished. Yes, Christ paid the full price to set us free from the curse of the law. He absorbed the curse completely as He became a curse in our place. For it is written: “…Everyone who is hung upon a tree is cursed.” Jesus Christ dissolved the curse from our lives, so that in him all the blessings of Abraham can be poured out upon gentiles. And now through faith we receive the promised Holy Spirit who lives in us.” (Galatians 3:13-14 TPT)
Everything that Jesus did was for you. He hung on the tree and became a curse in your place so that the blessing can be yours. He did it all for you. Therefore, why would you leave your blessing on the table? Why would you not enjoy the benefits?
Child of God, you are not cursed! You are blessed! Never ever tolerate anything in your life other than the blessing. When the enemy comes with sickness, disease, and discouragement, send them back to him. Let him know that they are not for you because your part is the blessing. The assignment you have is to believe. When you believe in the finished work of Christ on your behalf, you will begin to operate in the realm of rest. It is all about Jesus and what He has already made available for you. You don’t have anything to do with it. He did it all for you!
